Elvis is doing wonderful in his foster home. He knows all of his basic
commands, is crate trained, potty trained, and has slept through the night
with no accidents since he arrived. He seems to enjoy his crate and looks at
it as a place of rest and relaxation. Elvis also loves playing with his toys
and playing with his 2 foster sisters, especially with his Boxer sister,
Hope, who was also an AABR adoptee. Elvis will be starting an obedience
class next week at "Your Dog's Friend" in
Rockville, MD where he
will perfect his commands and work on his
leash training. Elvis is smart and a fast learner, but the best thing
about him is how he loves to snuggle and gives lots and lots of kisses!

Elvis has been in foster
almost a week now, and he is doing great! He is in foster with two other
dogs and a cat. Elvis loves to play with the other dogs and he has had
absolutely no problems acclimating with the cat.
Housebreaking is coming along well and his foster family is working
on
leash training - he pulls a little, but is learning quickly. Elvis is
very smart and wants to please - he already knows sit and is picking up his
other basic commands. Elvis has been sleeping through the night in his crate
without a peep and with no accidents. He is a really sweet boy and adores
children. Elvis couldn't give them enough kisses when they arrived at his
foster home for lessons. Elvis has the energy and curiosity of a puppy his
age, but when it comes to discipline, he is very mature. It only takes one
"NO" to get his attention, and then he rarely needs correction again. His
foster home feels he may be a boxer/hound mix. Elvis has been a wonderful
foster puppy, and he is going to make a family very happy. Apply today for
Elvis!

Elvis did great on his
transport today - he was very well behaved in everybody's car, even though
it was a really long ride for a young boy (6.5 hours). Elvis greeted
everyone with lots of tail wags and wiggles. He needs some work on his
basic manners, but is going to be a wonderful boy for a family who takes the
time needed to raise a well-mannered puppy. Elvis is currently at the
vet's office, and will be going to his foster home within the next few days.
We will update his page once he settles in there. Thank you for your
interest in Elvis!

-
Elvis was found in the woods in rural
West Virginia. The
woman that found him contacted all possible neighbors,
animal control, and the police - but nobody came forward for this
puppy. She then contacted rescue for help, hoping we could take Elvis and
find him a wonderful, forever home.
The woman that found Elvis indicated that she was disabled and not able
to give him the time and energy that a young puppy needs. Elvis is a white
boy with brindle patches. He is estimated to be only 5 months old and he has
a natural tail. His temporary home has been working hard on his
housebreaking and teaching him some basic manners. Elvis got along really
well with the three other dogs in the home. He plays fetch, loves to wrestle
with the other dogs, and is a great cuddler. Elvis will be transported into
rescue tomorrow. He will be neutered and then going into a foster home with
a cat and two other dogs. We will update his page once we know more about
him. If you have the time and commitment for a puppy this age, apply today
for Elvis!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure,
by clicking on the link at the top of this page,
then fill out an
online application.
Boxers and Applicants
are not matched on a first come, first served basis.
Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes
between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an
approved applicant, depending
on your personal circumstances and flexibility.
Matching Boxers suitable for placement
with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special
needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review
time and adoption time.
And yes, we
realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted
before you're approved. Should your first choices all ready
found their forever home, we want you to advise
us as to other dogs you are interested in at
Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com . Or let
us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.
That is what we are good at. And be happy for the
ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many
fantastic dogs waiting in their place.
Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful
Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a
Boxer.
We hope you feel that
the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
